"A cascading image of overjoyed children with toys and gifts they've received
from the Louvre department store. Infectiously charming"(Rennert,
PAI-XXVII, 365)

"In the 1880's poster art was just emerging from
the drabness of letterpress announcements showing little but black type. Cheret's
airy images were so startlingly bright and fresh on the walls of Paris that they
attracted admirers and his sprightly women the appellation 'Cherettes.' It is
not too far fetched to say that they were instrumental in ushering in the golden
age of posters" (Gold p.7)
